The recipe was originally developed in 1986 as a treat for hotel VIPs, in a press release. It’s not quite KFC tweeting out the 11 original herbs and spices or Coca-Cola publishing the original formula for Coke, but it’s welcome news for anyone who’s ever wanted to whip up some DoubleTree cookies from the comfort of home. “We know this is an anxious time for everyone,” said Shawn McAteer, senior vice president and global head of DoubleTree by Hilton. “A warm chocolate chip cookie can’t solve everything, but it can bring a moment of comfort and happiness. “We hope families enjoy the fun of baking together during their time at home, and we look forward to welcoming all our guests with a warm DoubleTree cookie when travel resumes.” A close examination of the recipe reveals that the obvious ingredients — sugar, butter, eggs, flour, etc. — are all there, but there are also a few surprises that make DoubleTree cookies different. Not too many chocolate chip cookie recipes have lemon juice and rolled oats, but they’re both here, along with a pinch of cinnamon. You can watch a video of the cookies being prepared and see the complete recipe below.
